UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE INSUIATOR BRACKET Archibald TQFlower, Jenkintown, Pa. Application November 21, 1936, Serial No. 112,-137 6 Claims. (Cl. 173-321) This invention relates to an improved insulator end oi the bracket are provided with alined bracket particularly adapted for attaching inopenings ll for passing a bolt ll therethrough sulators to the brick or stone walls of a building on the ends of which are mounted insulators Ii. i'or supporting electrical conduits, cables and the Additional openings are. provided in the arms to is like. permit the proper spacing of the insulators irom It is an objector the invention to provide an the wall and if desired an insulator may be insulator bracket which may be firmly and semounted on the bolt Ii between the arms I. curely anchored in the seam or joint 01' a wall of Also a. cable clamping clip I! may be attached to masonry during the course 01 construction. the upper arm of the bracket adjacent the outer 10 A further object oi the invention resides in side of the wall by means 01' a bolt ll. 10 providing a bracket 01' great strength made from In use, the bracket is installed in the wall of a minimum amount of material and which iacilthe building during the course of construction itates the proper spacing of the. insulators from and forms an integral part thereof which prethe wall and from each other. vents accidental displacement oi the bracket.
